Iggy Azalea’s sexy model past: red lips and big hair

Looks like Iggy Azalea was always fancy.

In 2008, when the Australian rapper was just 18, she tried her hand at modeling, showing off her signature curves in a series of looks.

In one image, Azalea, now 24, wears curly, dark-blond tresses, racy dark eye shadow and red lipstick. She adds a hint of sex appeal in a red bra and high-waisted shorts.

Azalea, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, turned up the heat in another snapshot lying across a bed wearing ruffled panties and a white ruffled top with a lace bra peeking through.

The images were taken two years after the pop star dropped out of high school to become a star.

Photographer Fran Flynn told the Daily Mail, “It was an absolute pleasure to work with Amethyst/Iggy. Her lovely mum Tanya organized the shoot with me and was very supportive of her daughter’s aspirations. Amethyst was already a total professional and had obvious star quality. She played her demo CD for me during the shoot and we joked about how famous she might become.”

And she has.

Recently, Azalea’s been spotted hanging out with her boyfriend, pro basketball player Nick Young, while on vacation and in Milan at several fashion shows.
